CITY SCENE

Night Lights

written by Casey Martin

No matter your age, it is impossible not to appreciate the dedication, craftsmanship, and
creativity that go into extravagant light displays. Luckily, the Seattle area offers an incredible
selection of displays and neighborhoods that cannot be missed this holiday season. Whether
you are planning a trip with family, friends, or a special someone, these holiday light displays will
knock off your holiday fuzzy socks.

CANDY CANE LANE
December 3, 2016 - January 1, 2017; 4:00-11:00 pm daily
North of Ravenna Boulevard at 21st Avenue Northeast, Seattle, WA 98105

Candy Cane Lane has been taking place at NE Park
Road in Ravenna since the 1950s. You could easily say
this holiday light show is a little piece of Seattle history.
Expert advice is to park a few blocks away and take your
time walking through the beautiful neighborhood. One
of the best houses last year gave visitors the ability
to control its decorations, lights, and snow machine
with a voice-controlled Amazon Echo. With no charge
to see, you can’t beat Candy Cane Lane to get in the
holiday spirit.

FANTASY LIGHTS
November 24, 2016 - January 1, 2017; 5:30-9:00 pm daily
24909 Hub Dr, Sedro-Woolley, WA 98284

Although it’s a bit of a trek to Spanaway Park, this
two-mile drive-thru light display is definitely worth it.
From the warmth and comfort of your vehicle, you will
stare in awe at the 300+ light displays that surround
Spanaway Lake. Some of the most popular attractions
include the pink teddy bear, the giant dragon, and
Santa blasting out of a cannon. This is a popular
weekend adventure so it’s a good idea to attend on a
weekday or be prepared to wait a bit. The cost per car
is around $15.
